Additional Info
Although I've been a die-hard 29er rider ever since I got on one around 2008, I've been experimenting a lot with 29/27.5 mixed wheel size in recent years. The ride that a mixer gives you is pretty fantastic - very similar rollover capabilities to a 29er in a straight line, but quite a bit easier to throw into tight corners.
On this bike, the 29er front wheel paired with the ultra-sensitive derailleur-free rear suspension makes for a bike that practically accelerates through any rock garden. The 160mm 29" Lyrik gives the bike roughly a 63.5* head angle and a pretty tall front end, so I often use the travel adjust and drop the fork down to 130mm on climbs and more mellow terrain.
I'll gladly answer any questions in the comments!
